Thanks all - the responses to my first post have gone above and beyond
my expectations.  For week 1, I don't think my sides have been too
bad.  When can I expect the fun stuff, like mood swings, depression,
dry skin, etc.  :-(  I would expect that they would take some time to
show up, IF they are going to.  Is it too individualised to take a
guess?

To answer some questions:  I'm in Toronto, Canada.  I haven't had a
biopsy because I have a bleeding disorder, don't want to take the
chance, and my doc agrees it's not absolutely necessary for me.
Because I have monor esophogeal varices, she assumes I have some
cirrhosis.

If I've missed a question, just remind me - I'm getting on, after all!

Drinkin' water,

David
